Summary
We've got another book club episode today! On a recent road trip I listened to Ryan Holiday's new book Ego is the Enemy and there were so many powerful lessons! I just need to share them with you! Many of these are game changers!
I was a big fan of his earlier book, The Obstacle Is The Way so I was eager to get my hands on Ego is the Enemy. It did not disappoint.
In today's episode I'm sharing the 6 lessons that change the game when it comes to fat loss, health and happiness.

6 Lessons That Change the Game
There were 6 primary lessons that I believe powerfully apply to fat loss, health & happiness that I gleaned from Ryan Holiday's Ego Is The Enemy. In today's episode, I share those lessons and how you can apply them to your health.
Ego is the enemy of what you have and what you want.
Ego can keep us from true success by hiding the truth about our choices and our abilities.
Ego crosses out what matters and replaces it with what doesn't.
Ego tells us what we want to hear when we want to hear it but gives us a short-term fix with long-term consequences
Humility and reality are the cure for ego
Be humble in your aspirations
Be gracious in your success
Be resilient in your failures
Unfortunately, I think the more common approach in dieting is:
Unrealistic in our aspirations
Critical of our success
Defeated in our failures
Make it a mantra: every next choice is a new chance.
Engage in activities that move you forward. Eliminate activities that do not.
Are the things you're doing moving you towards your goals?
Talk depletes us.
Talking & doing compete for the same resources.
The relationship between work and chatter is that one kills the other
Be more objective (and less emotional)
Is your passion an asset or a liability?
Purpose: passion with boundaries
Realism: detachment with perspective
Be committed to the daily work without being attached to the daily results.
It's about what you do with what you have
Materiam superabat opus: the workmanship was better than the material
It's what you do with what you have that matters far more than what you have.
The work is never done & that's a good thing.

| 0:36.4 | So it is numbered 200 but it's actually episode 243 because early on I didn't know what |

| 0:51.0 | but for those of you that love milestones and I definitely do, we have one coming because |
| 0:56.0 | July 12th is Primal's second anniversary but can somebody tell me if businesses have birthdays |
| 1:05.2 | or anniversaries? |
| 1:06.2 | I'm thinking birthday might be appropriate there because it was kind of born. |
| 1:10.1 | I don't know. |
| 1:11.1 | Somebody tell me the right terminology or else it's going to remain a hybrid birthday anniversary. |
| 1:16.7 | I can't believe but it's been almost two years. |
